Ability to identify and evaluate technology resources and technical assistance (i.e., those available on-line and on-site within a school and district setting).
Ability to assess advantages and limitations of current and emerging technologies, on-line resources and software to facilitate teaching and student learning.
Ability to engage in professional growth and leadership activities, including modeling lifelong learning by participating in face to face and online learning communities to continuously improve professional practice using existing and emerging digital tools, resources, and current research that focuses on improved student learning, as well as promotes professional development of other educators.
Through tweeting through a professional twitter account, I was able to learn to navigate a form of socially media I do not use personally on a regular basis. I learned through this experience, my school has professionals who only deal with social media and technology problems. This was useful information to know in case I ever had a problem with my class webpage or other web 2.0 applications that I use in my classroom. Although twitter has been around since 2006, it is still a useful and engaging tool for students to use to communicate. This application is easily accessible to all users. It is also a method for students to provide a gist or summary for what they have learned in 140 characters or less.
What I believe is most importantly, I was able to advance and grow professionally through twitter followers. I follow local education agencies, state department of education twitter handles, and other special education agencies to gain insightful knowledge to improve student learning and enhance my own professional development.
